I agree that if you call they will be able to tell you right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044460 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:38:51 +0000 Chocoholic 2044460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should be able to do a prenatal massage as well if the spa offers them! Enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044415 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:18:22 +0000 Ginabean3 2044415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I will call and inquire!! I guess if a body treatment is out I can always do a facial and pedi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044399 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:09:15 +0000 blackbird 2044399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The citrus all sounds amazing! And I think those are all safe oils-mostly to smell good, not detox your liver or cure cancer lol. Orange pomegranate, mmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044384 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:01:48 +0000 mrswin 2044384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I would think the wrap is out of the question because it will raise your core temperature as@yoursilverlining: mentioned and for a least part of the time you will have to lay on your stomach which wasn't comfortable anymore when I was 20 weeks. I know most spas have a list of treatments that you can have while pregnant so I'm sure if you call and ask they can set you up with something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044349 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:41:13 +0000 sapphire 2044349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most spas have policies about what treatments they offer to pregnant patients. I would call and ask. Whenever I book something they also always want to know how far along I'll be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044290 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:57:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 2044290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the main concern with body treatments is hitting the reflexology points that can induce labor; but I'll be honest, I think this concern is greatly overrated. Specific point reflexology isn't something that I think would accidentally happen doing your average massage. </p> <p>I guess the other concern might be raising your core body temp; similar to the warning about hot tubs. The only time I've had wraps done at a spa I was laying on a heated treatment table and wrapped up, which probably did raise my core temp some. So, that might be something to ask about?</p> <p>But, I had a lot of different spa treatments done when I was pregnant and all were gloriously relaxing! Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044289 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:57:43 +0000 Torchwood 2044289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would check into the essential oils. Some aren't good for pregnancy (Rosemary, I thunk?), but most are fine. You could probably call and ask as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spa-treatments-while-pregnant#post-2044269 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:37:49 +0000 Ginabean3 2044269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So DH is going to a business retreat next month and I'm tagging along because it's at a nice resort. I want to get pampered and would love to go to the spa. Is it ok for a pregnant person to get a body treatment such as this?</p> <p>"SIGNATURE CITRUS This customized body treatment with a choice of signature citrus essential oil blends includes an exfoliating scrub, a rejuvenating wrap and a hydrating massage with citrus body butter. Essential oil blends include cabernet and neroli blossom, citrus sorbet and orange pomegranate. "</p> <p>I will be 20 weeks by that time. </p>
